Celebrate the Dude with an abiding look at the philosophy behind
The Big Lebowski
Is the Dude a bowling-loving stoner or a philosophical genius
living the good life? Naturally, it's the latter, and The Big
Lebowski and Philosophy explains why. Enlisting the help of
great thinkers like Plato and Nietzsche, the book explores the
movie's hidden philosophical layers, cultural reflection, and
political commentary. It also answers key questions, including: The
Dude abides, but is abiding a virtue? Is the Dude an Americanized
version of the Taoist way of life? How does The Big Lebowski
illustrate the Just War Theory? How does bowling help Donny,
Walter, and the Dude oppose nihilism? Yes, the Dude is deep, and so
is this book. Don't watch the movie--or go to Lebowski
Fest--without it.
* Explores many of The Big Lebowski's key themes, such as
nihilism, war and politics, money and materialism, idealism and
morality, history, and more
* Gives you new perspective on the movie's characters--the
Dude, the Big Lebowski, Walter Sobchak, Donny, Maude Lebowski,
Bunny Lebowski, and others
* Helps you appreciate the Coen Brothers classic even more with
the insights of Aristotle, Epicurus, Kant, Derrida, and other
philosophical heavyweights
